Listen, folks, the bottom line is that All You Need Is Now sounds more like Big Bang Generation and Want You More than it does like anything off the first three albums. All this "this is the follow-up to Rio SATRT etc" rubbish that is getting bandied around, let's just stop it in its tracks shall we?
Wild Boys and View to a Kill and then of course Notorious were the follow ups to Rio and SATRT... So let's stop this ridiculous pretence that there is some 27-year void which needs filling.
And of course the synth sounds being "retro" is just guff as well, that "windscreen-wiper noise", not to mention the synth bass on AYNIN are blatantly modern synths which use samples, as opposed to Jupiter 8 stuff etc, which use raw waveforms!
The fact is, this DD album sounds EXACTLY as though it shared a producer with Astronaut and RCM, not to mention Medazzaland.
The songs are average... there is no sure-fire chart-topper here. The songs appeal to us - the older audience, who already like DD's catalog, not to "Da Kidz" (Duran newcomers).
And while we're on the topic, the Emperor has NEW CLOTHES too!!

Why be so angry about it? Can't we just enjoy the songs for what they are? Maybe they'll sound better if we go into this without the expectation that they'll sound like the "follow-up to Rio". I, for one, don't give a crap if they chart or if they appeal to the younger generation. I LIKE what I've heard so far and that's enough for me.

I don't remember Duran Duran ever saying this SONG was like a follow-up to Rio. I believe they were referring to the ALBUM being like that. And of course none of the album is going to sound exactly like 1983! It's not 1983 is it?

Well, hey, it keeps these discussion boards engaging, and, frankly, my "anger" is more "spirited debate". Come on, my friends, engage and respond (preferably without insulting me, claiming I am not a big enough fan etc ... I have been to FAR more DD concerts than you and met all the band on several occasions!) xx

Well yes, Miss Graves, but the fact is that enough of the album is kicking around t'internet to permit a good enough idea to be formulated.
I hardly think that the band have hidden their best work undercover and will unveil such better stuff on Dec 21st... I think the way we go from today is "filler" album stuff....
So I think that we are indeed in a position to judge, and I maintain that all this guff about follow-ups and recreating the original energy etc is just rubbish ... think back to interviews about meeting Timbaland etc .... surely they said exactly the same thing ... feel free to call me a cynic .....
